Plant 1

This is a cactus. They have no leaves and only arm type branches. It is useful because they offer shade for animals and they contain some amount of water. It makes new plants as part of it rips off and it will make a new plant on the spot. Some ID features are that the plant has many spikes on it to avoid violaters. I was taking a walk around my property and noticed a cactus that I have never seen before located on my yard.
